I sure hope that newb who caused your accident was willing to pay for your bills/ambulance ride. Fvcking idiots like that don't belong in the gym or hell, in public.

Did the guy say anthing to you/you to the guy after the fact? That's pretty bad, but look at the bright side: The weighted end didn't fall on you. Feel Better!

Yeah, I know stuff like this happens. I wouldn't feel bad if I had done it to myself but it was the other guy's pure negligence and stupidity that got me good.


Duuuuuude. :( ^^that would be my take on it as well. That must've hurt like sh1t. :shocked: That dweeb OWES you. Is he a geek? Can he take tests for you? Do homework? Payback is mandated in a case like this. Does he have a GF? He should "loan her" to you for a few days after you've recovered.

Har har. Yes, I have a large nose and it being covered in blood doesn't make it any less obtrusive. Thanks for your support, though! I love you, too. :roll:

I don't really know anything about the guy right now. I'll get his name and the incident report that the gym employees filled out but, until then, there's not much I can do about him. He came up to the office with me and my buddy to watch me bleed and he did apologize. As I said, he was definitely a young, skinny type and I think he may have been frightened of my hulking friend. I'm hoping he's just sitting at home crying knowing a world of pain awaits him, should we so choose. Bwa ha ha ha!!! :evil:

I suppose beating the kid wouldn't help my chances in court though, huh? Decisions, decisions... :D

Court? As in "suing him" court? :Q Hmm. Well...I guess that's to be expected these days....I dunno man. I mean, you DID get totally bashed in the noggin. 11 stitches is nothing to sneeze at, but it was an accident. Now, if you would've been permanently disabled or injured or something, then I could see it.

Not looking down on you or nothing, just voicing my opinion. Sh1t happens, you know? It's not like he picked up a 25lb dumbbell and bashed you about the face and shoulders with it.

For the most part, I'm just kidding about the court thing. If, however, I have to end up getting some anti-scarring surgery my insurance won't pay for, I can tell you right now I don't want to foot the bill. Where does that take me? Like I said, I'll cross that bridge if/when I come to it.

Also, I totally agree the whole thing was an accident. No way did he do it on purpose. I also understand that what he did was stupid and entirely preventable. Negligent is a good word for it, I guess. I'm not mad at him nor do I have any kind of grudge. More than anything, I just don't want to pay for anything that has to be done. That's not true. More than anything I would have liked it to never have happened. I mean, hell, the guy ruined my workout!!! ;)

My friend said the exact same thing. Had I known at the time the bleeding wasn't as bad as it seemed, I probably would have stopped to have a few words with the guy. Spitting blood in his face while yelling that exact phrase would have been my top choice. :laugh: I wish I could have done it all over again... Sigh.
